	Itch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The central chemical in itch is histamine, a molecule released by mast cells in the skin.
		Itch from cutaneous (skin-related) stimuli, such as movement of small hairs on the body, is transmitted along the same pathway as pain.
		Itch caused by histamine is transmitted to the brain by a different neural pathway, described in 2001 by Andrew et al.

		An itch that is accompanied by lesions usually should be evaluated by a physician and, in some cases, by a dermatologist since the problem is likely to be a condition that requires specialized medical treatment (e.g., eczema, scabies, etc).
		Probably the most common cause of itch is psychological, that is, due to stress, anxiety, etc. Stress also can aggravate itch from other causes.

		When this occurs the schistosomules can cause a dramatic inflammatory response, especially in hosts that have been exposed previously, because (1) humans are an abnormal host and (2) the schistosomules remain in the skin for an extended period of time and eventually die there.
		The inflammatory response that results when non-human schistosome cercariae penetrate the skin of humans is called 'swimmer's itch' or schistosome cercarial dermatitis.
		The cercariae of bovine and avian 'schistosomes' are probably responsible for a majority of cases of swimmer's itch, and infections have been reported throughout the world.
